The Great and Small Sand caves (about 195 m above sea level NH) [1] are a natural monument in the district of Harz in Saxony-Anhalt. They are located near Blankenburg in the Heers forest area northeast below the rain stone (289.4 m), on which the castle ruins Regenstein is located.

many great paths lead to the sandstone caves, a worthwhile destination at any time of the year, not quite as crowded as the large sandstone caves
